Effects of Different Drying Processes on Bioactive Components, Volatile Compounds, and In Vitro Inhibition of Starch Digestion in Mulberry Leaf Extracts by Haizhi Li, Guoyu Liu, Yifeng Liu, Peng Yuan, Shiwei Liu, Mengqing Yan, Yan Zou, Haotian Wang, Tianyu Zhang, Shenglin Duan, Chao Ma

“…Results indicated that FDMLE exhibited the highest total alkaloids content (TAC: 0.14 ± 0.02 mg/g) and total flavonoid content (TFC: 19.32 ± 0.58 mg/g), along with significant inhibitory effects on starch hydrolysis at 180 min (starch hydrolysis rate <50%). The microstructure of HADMLE was closest to that of the mulberry leaf powder (ML), but SD better preserved the color of ML (Δ<i>E</i> = 1.55 ± 0.04). …”
